Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Sleepy Hollow: I loved the reveal about Jenny's possession (and seeing Clancy Brown again is always a treat) and how it highlighted both Jenny's ongoing inner conflicts and the sisterly bond with Abby. I gotta say though, Jenny's character development makes me worried for her longevity. I have a bad feeling she's gonna be killed off in a heroic fashion in the finale to up the stakes, and I don't want that. NO, NON, NEIN. The show's been pretty good at being subversive, so hopefully it'll continue to do unexpected things.

New Arrow tomorrow! I don't know when it became the show I look forward to the most during my week, but it has!

it's like the greatest hits of Canada, plus Manu Bennett.

Not to mention all the veteran genre actors who keep showing up. From Barrowman to Alex Kingston and Ben Browder and Summer Glau to Susanna Thompson to James Callis and so on and so forth. I heard Sean Maher is gonna be in tomorrow's episode! And apparently Nick Lea (who's been in a lot of things but who'll always be Krycek to me) is slated to show up at some point in the next few weeks. Gotta love Vancouver.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The show's been pretty good at being subversive, so hopefully it'll continue to do unexpected things.

It's also been pretty good about finding ways for our heroes to win, every time. I think Jenny will be ok.

More demons need to travel with human minions to get rid of the pesky salt lines.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

New Arrow tomorrow! I don't know when it became the show I look forward to the most during my week, but it has!

Wednesday is Arrow day! It's like how I used to get excited on Tuesdays because it was Buffy day.

I heard Sean Maher is gonna be in tomorrow's episode!

I read that and forgot until I read your post. It really is chock full of the genre TV actors. LOVE.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Teen Wolf, the mention of were-coyote made me think of the Mercy Thompson series and wonder yet again why no one has tried to turn it into a television show.

The first 3 books have been optioned for film.

I didn't realize that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Lots of things get optioned and nothing comes of it, though.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

So no Arrow talk, huh?

I thought the episode was okay, though I'm really more interested in figuring out if that was a differently-masked Deathstroke or if that was Sportsmaster we saw in the preview for next week. It had a hockey-mask vibe going on, though it looked like it was two-toned.

I was left kind of "meh" on the episode. I figured out Blood's "aunt" was really his mother about 30 seconds before Laurel did.

I know flashback!Slade was injected with super-serum and came back from the dead (or almost-death) (which is still partly alive) (I had to say that), but he looked like he had a makeover in this episode. It was disconcerting.

I didn't even think about Sportsmaster! I assumed it was present-day Slade/Deathstroke.
